A proposito di questo titolo

 Welcome to Coffee Break at the Château, the podcast that opens the heavy oak doors and lets you see what’s actually happening behind the closed shutters of the Loire Valley. Hosted by Mascha (Les Belles Ruries) and Bérengère (Le Mortier), this is the English-language sister to our French podcast "Pause Café Au Château" -but with a twist. While our French episodes dive deep into various topics (heritage, businesses, farming, forestry...), our English version is a shorter, punchier, and more spontaneous look at the absurdity of our daily lives. Expect wit, a bit of grit, and plenty of "Château reality." We’re talking about: The Château Tax: Why a bag of cement costs more when you have a turret. The WiFi Wars: Trying to get a signal through three meters of tuffeau rock. The Garden of France: It sounds lovely until you’re the one mowing five hectares of grass. If you love France but prefer your history served with a side of humor and a strong cup of coffee, you’re in the right place. Join us every fortnight for a glimpse into the beautiful, expensive, and hilarious chaos of managing a French monument. Hosted on Ausha.

    #1 Monnaie - A History of Horses, Highways, and Heartaches
    Apr 19 2026

    Join Mascha (Les Belles Ruries) and Bérengère (Le Mortier) as they dive into the surprisingly gritty history of their home village, Monnaie. While the name might suggest a town built on gold, the duo discovers that Monnaie’s legacy is actually paved with mud, exhausted horses, and the "petites pièces" of 18th-century travelers.


    From its origins as a vital "service station" on the road between Paris and Spain to the modern-day "boss fights" with the Bâtiments de France over historic stones, this episode explores what it means to live in a town where the walls are older than most countries. Grab a coffee and listen in as they discuss the "Monnaie Stare," the struggle for modern Wi-Fi in 5th-century structures, and why a collapsing wall is technically a "historical narrative".
